READINGS FOR THE WEEK

Scriptural Reflections on Stewardship

In the first reading, God promises King David that his house and his kingdom will endure forever. It is through Mary’s “Yes”

— “I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me as you say.” — that the promise finds fulfill-ment.

Every Tuesday, the Blessed Sacrament is ex-

posed in the church from 3 to 4 p.m. It is an hour of prayer for the priests, reli-gious men and women and an increase of vocations to the priesthood and the reli-gious life of the Church.

We invite you to come and spend time with the Lord for these intentions and for your personal requests. Holy Hour closes with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Qué nos enseña la Navidad? La celebración de la Navidad es un momento privilegiado para meditar en el texto evangélico de San Lucas 2, 1-20, en donde se narra con detalle el Nacimiento de Cristo. Maria nos enseña a ser humildes, a aceptar la voluntad de Dios, a vivir cerca de Dios por medio de la oración, a obedecer a Dios y a creer en Dios. José nos enseña a escuchar a Dios y hacer lo que El nos diga en nuestra vida, aunque no lo entendamos y a confiar en Dios. Jesús nos enseña la sencillez,. A Dios le gusta que seamos sencillos, que no nos importen tanto las cosas materiales. Jesú, a pesar de ser el Salvador del mundo, nació en la pobreza. Los pastores nos enseñan que la verdadera alegría es la que viene de Dios. El 25 de diciembre se celebra la Navidad. Dios se hizo hombre para abrirnos las puertas del Cielo y enseñarnos el camino para la vida eternal.
